Surface rust can often be polished off. Try BriLiant metal polishes. Amazing stuff. They do a metal restoration polish that genuinely works (no, don't work for them!)
Failing that speak to the guys at Bilt Hamber. They have rust treatment products that in my opinion are the best on the market. BriLiant polish and a rag should do it though! Cheers  She's not old...just older |

I've used Solvol Autosol on checker plate before with good results. John

I had the same problem with Mammoth ones where the bend on the front did not match the bend in the wing didnt bother fitting them and now they are still sat in the garage. I spoke to mammoth whom were very helpfull but I couldnt be bothered to persue. the cill covers fit very well though. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,
I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy |

Hi Matt, was the bonnet catching just one of the chequer plates at the back or both? If just one is the bonnet sitting dead centre?
We have Safari Equip ones fitted to our Puma. You are more then welcome to come and look at the quality of the wing tops as fitted either at Billing (stand A3) or at Peterborough. Sometimes seeing things in the 'flesh' is best Brendan |

Pricey but I'd second the genuine parts ones - I had them on the first Puma and they are due to be fitted to the new one in the next couple of weeks. John

I have black chequer plate all round. The fixings have corroded and are spoiling the look and finish.
Any suggestions on where I can get a complete set of new fittings, ideally something that won't corrode but need to be black. Anyone else swapped out the standard issue fixings that come with the LR chequer plate kits?? Proud owner 110 Utility XS Ex RR Sport HST V8 Ex Td5 90 |
